Brevard (1-1-0) grabbed an early 1-0
lead when Mcphillips bested Belmont Abbey (2-1-0) goalkeeper Kyle Searles in
the 5th minute to provide the Tornados with an early advantage.

In the 14th minute, Mark Dandanell
knotted the score at one when received a feed from Conor Wells. Belmont Abbey
took a lead it’d never relinquish in the 30th minute when Declan McQuillan
scored to make it a 2-1 match.

The Crusaders added an additional
goal in the 83rd minute when Ameer Pinto split two defenders to extend Belmont
Abbey’s lead to 3-1.

The Tornados have dropped six
consecutive matches to the Crusaders. Freshman goalkeeper Heath Turner recorded
three saves, which all came in the second half. BC was outshot 8-3 in the first
half.

The Tornados look to bounce back when
they take on King Saturday at 4 p.m. in Brevard N.C.
